Messages are not flowing from a Automatic activity to next manual decision activity + Workflow

Question

I am using Tridion 2013 SP1

I have a Automatic Activity which publishes bundle to server. I have written below code in ActivityFinishData.

 ActivityFinishData finishData = new ActivityFinishData()
        {
            Message = "I am coming from Step 1",
            NextAssignee = new LinkToTrusteeData()
            {
                IdRef = user.Id,
                Title = "Content Author"
            }
        };


  CoreServiceClient.FinishActivity(ActivityInstance.Id, finishData, new ReadOptions());

Now next activity is a Manual Decision Activity . But I am not able to see the previous message in Tridion interface for activities .

I have made a four step workflow .. first two are manual activity and message are passed nicely and shown in previous workflow activity box also. Third activity i have written below line of code but this message is not flowing to fourth activity. What is going wrong here.

ActivityFinishData finishData = new ActivityFinishData()
    {
        Message = "I am coming from Step 3"            
    };

CoreServiceClient.FinishActivity(ActivityInstance.Id, finishData, new ReadOptions());

Can anybody please suggest what is going wrong here .

Answer 1

Try using DecisionActivityFinishData instead of ActivityFinishData

DecisionActivityFinishData finishData = new DecisionActivityFinishData()
        {
            Message = "I am coming from Step 1",
            NextAssignee = new LinkToTrusteeData()
            {
                IdRef = user.Id,
                Title = "Content Author"
            }
        };

CoreServiceClient.FinishActivity(ActivityInstance.Id, finishData, new ReadOptions());
